Popis:	Background: Anemia in patients with cancer has been associated with poor outcomes. There are scarce data on the prevalence of iron and Vitamin B12 deficiencies and inflammatory anemia among treatment-naive patients in the Indian setting. Objectives: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence of anemia and iron and Vitamin B12 deficiencies along with inflammation in treatment-naive patients. Materials and Methods: This single-center cross-sectional study was conducted at the Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (Patna, India) from July 2019 to December 2019. All patients registered in the Medical Oncology Department were offered testing for iron profile and serum Vitamin B12 and serum ferritin levels. Anemia was defined as hemoglobin level300 mg/L, and Vitamin B12 level
